Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull
a trailer are all important. It can also depend on any
special equipment that you have on your vehicle,
and the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry.
See “Weight of the Trailer Tongue” later in this
section for more information.
Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming only the
driver is in the tow vehicle and it has all the required
trailering equipment. The weight of additional optional
equipment, passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle
must be subtracted from the maximum trailer weight.
Use the following chart to determine how much
your vehicle can weigh, based upon your vehicle model
and options.
Engine Axle Ratio Maximum Trailer Weight **GCWR
6000 V8 (SUV) 4.10 6,700 lbs (3 039 kg) 13,500 lbs (6 123 kg)
6000 V8 (SUT)* 4.10 6,600 lbs (2 994 kg) 13,500 lbs (6 123 kg)
**The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) in the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and
trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment and conversions. The GCWR for your vehicle should not be
exceeded.
*Sport utility truck (SUT) models are neither designed nor intended to tow 5th wheel or gooseneck trailers.
